Drive is one of the best albums to come out of New Zealand this decade and it is only a matter of time before Runga becomes as well known overseas as she is in New Zealand & Australia. Her three hit singles, Drive, Bursting Through and Sway, have been reworked for the album. The production showing without question, that Runga's biggest asset is her absolutely faultless voice.
New Zealand's chanteuse of the charts Bic Runga is an anomaly in the world of pop music. Drive, her debut album, sees the diminutive one not only writing, playing and singing all the songs but producing the whole shebang as well. Which is pretty impressive when you're only in your early 20s, and blessed with a golden voice to boot.
